Ciao a tutti! I am Marilena and I have been a licensed guide in Milan and its Province since 2009. I speak fluentl English and of course, Italian! A strong passion for art and beauty conquered me since I was a teenager. After my University studies, I became a museum educator in the Brera Picture Gallery and, after obtaining my Tour Guide License, I continued to accompany nice school groups around the wonderful city of Milan, which I love to talk about! I truly love walking around the city and showing both adults and children its monuments and temples, telling their stories which have made this city great. When it comes to Milanese art collections, I love to focus on the smallest details in the paintings, which I hope to have the pleasure of describing to you. I love working with small groups, as well as with families with children, who allow me to engage in a very special dialogue to discover the city. I guarantee I'll be able to organize a special itinerary for you to get to know the city in the shadow of the Madonnina! I'll wait for you in Milan! Credentials: Degree in Cultural Heritage Sciences Master's Degree in Art History and Criticism 2019-2024 Higher education and specialized studies in Religious Tourism Member of GITEC Guide Italiane Turismo e Cultura Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

A journey from the design district to the new architecture!
Overview of your Milan tour
Milan holds the record for the most skyscrapers in Italy. Our tour begins in Brera, once a hub for artists and bohemians, where its charming pedestrian streets come alive during Design Week. Walking along Corso Garibaldi, we’ll visit the Church of S. Simpliciano, a stunning Romanesque church with 4th-century walls. Further along, we’ll admire the double church of S. Maria Incoronata, a fine Renaissance example. Passing through Porta Garibaldi, we’ll reach Corso Como and Piazza Gae Aulenti, home to Italy’s tallest skyscraper, the Unicredit Tower, and the iconic Vertical Forest. A stroll through the Biblioteca degli Alberi park will reveal the harmony between nature and modern architecture, with designs by renowned architects like Cesar Pelli and Stefano Boeri.
